Outpatient nurses play a key role in the prevention of diabetes, improving patients self-care and quality of life. The aim of the study is to evaluate the effectiveness of nursing practices in reducing the risk of diabetes and concomitant pathologies in primary healthcare. A systematic review of publications (2020—2025) has been conducted, revealing the main areas of nurses work, such as educational programs, screening, lifestyle modification, interdisciplinary collaboration, and digital technologies. These methods have proven effective in improving clinical performance, treatment adherence, and reducing the risk of complications. The introduction of such practices is promising for strengthening the prevention of diabetes and unloading the healthcare system.diabetes mellitusdiabetes preventionnurseprimary health carenursing interventionsreviewсахарный диабетпрофилактика диабетамедицинская сестрапервичная медико-санитарная помощьсестринские вмешательстваобзорGBD 2021 Diabetes Collaborators.
